queen’s  college 

THE  COLLEGE 

Rutgers  College  was  founded  as  Queen’s  College,  November 
tenth,  1766,  the  eighth  college  founded  in  the  American  colonies. 
Harvard,  William  and  Mary,  Yale,  Princeton,  King’s — now  Colum- 
bia— Pennsylvania  and  Brown  had  preceded  and  Dartmouth  com- 
pleted the  colonial  list.  The  charter  of  1766  is  not  extant,  but 
there  is  record  of  meetings  of  Trustees  held  under  its  provisions. 
A second  charter  was  granted  in  1770  and  under  its  provisions, 
with  but  slight  amendment,  the  college  has  continued  and  pros- 
pered until  the  present  time.  This  charter  was  granted  in  the 
name  of  George  the  Third  by  William  Franklin,  Governor  of  the 
Province  of  New  Jersey.  It  addresses  itself  to  loyal  subjects  who, 
of  the  Reformed  religion  and  from  the  United  Provinces  of  the 
Netherlands,  have  petitioned  for  a college  in  the  Province  of  New 
Jersey.  It  provides  for  a college  to  be  called  Queen’s  College 
and  to  be  erected  for  “the  education  of  youth  in  the  learned  lan- 
guages, liberal  and  useful  arts  and  sciences  and  especially  in 
divinity.” 


queen’s  campus,  south 

The  college  was  established  at  New  Brunswick  and  continued 
active  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  though  its  activities  dur- 
ing that  disturbed  time  were  at  periods  maintained  in  neighbor- 
ing villages.  The  first  President  was  the  Rev.  Dr.  Jacob  Rut- 
sen  IJardenbergh.  The  first  Tutors,  frequently  called  away  for 
military  counsel  and  service,  were  Colonel  Frederick  Frelinghuysen 
and  Colonel  John  Taylor.  During  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth 
century  and  the  early  part  of  the  nineteenth  century,  the  college 
was  at  times  inactive.  After  a considerable  period  of  depression 
it  changed  its  name  to  Rutgers  College  in  1825,  in  honor  of  Henry 
Rutgers,  Esq.,  of  New  York  City,  and  entered  upon  more  vigorous 
life,  developing  to  the  large  proportion's  of  the  present  day. 

For  nearly  a century  from  its  founding  the  college  course 
was  entirely  the  classical  and  liberal  arts  course.  In  1864,  the 
Scientific  School  having  been  organized,  the  Trustees  were  declared 


by  the  State  of  New  Jersey  to  be  the  State  College  for  the  benefit 
of  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic  Arts.  At  a still  later  date  a 
Latin-Scientific  or  Letters  course  was  established.  The  develop- 
ment of  Rutgers  appears  in  such  broadened  scheme  of  study,  in 
constantly  increasing  corps  of  professors  and  instructors,  increas- 
ing buildings  and  equipment,  and  increasing  number  of  students. 


THE  KIRKPATRICK  CHAPEL 

For  nearly  a century  and  a half  the  college  has  maintained 
with  faithfulness  ideals  of  education  exalted  by  the  fathers  and 
found  worthy  of  enduring  honor.  A conspicuous  service  lias  been 
done  in  the  continual  sending  of  graduates  to  high  places  in  church 
and  state,  to  successful  life  in  all  the  professions  and  industries. 
At  the  present  time  it  offers  to  its  students  greater  and  more  varied 
advantages  than  ever  before. 


LOCATION 


New  Brunswick  is  a city  of  twenty-five  thousand  inhabi- 
tants, on  the  Raritan  River  and  on  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad, 
thirty  miles  from  New  York,  and  sixty  miles  from  Philadelphia. 
It  was  settled  early  in  the  colonial  period,  has  several  church  or- 
ganizations of  historic  interest  and  had  a distinguished  relation 

with  the  events  of 
the  Revolutionary 
time.  In  that  time 
its  special  health- 
fulness was  evi- 
denced by  the 
sending  to  it  of 
successive  regi- 
ments from  other 
places  for  the  phy- 
sical benefit  always 
thus  gained.  It  has 
been  notable  for  the 
Baldwin  gates  and  geologicae  hall  several  ancient  in- 
stitutions of  learning  here  located,  for  the  social  life  that  has 
largely  centered  in  them,  and  for  prosperous  manufacturing  en- 
terprises, as  well  as  for  the  healthfulness  of  its  climate. 


CAMPUS 

Queen’s  Campus,  in  large  part  a gift  from  the  Estate  of 
Mr.  James  Parker,  acquired  early  in'  the  nineteenth  century,  when 
the  earliest  of  the  present  buildings  was  erected,  lies  in  the  north- 
west part  of  the  city.  It  is  spacious  and  beautiful,  with  lawn  and 
elm  trees,  and  now  lias  seven  buildings  erected  upon  it. 

Tile  Neilson  Campus,  given  in  part  during  former  years 
and  in  greatest  part  in  1906  by  Mr.  James  Neilson,  adjoins  Queen’s 
Campus  and  has  erected  upon  it  New  Jersey  Hall,  the  Gymnasium, 
the  Library,  and  the  Engineering  Building.  It  affords  space  for  new 
buildings,  and,  in  general,  a developed  college  site. 


THE  XEILSON  ATHLETIC  FIELD 

The  Neilson  Athletic  Field,  whose  use  is  donated,  to  the' 
Athletic  Association  also  by  Mr.  Neilson,  lies  about  ten  minutes 
walk  from  the  main  campus,  and  offers  all  possible  advantages  fol* 
foot-hall,  base-hall,  track  athletics  and  military  drill. 

The  College  Farm,  of  150  acres,  is  located  about  one 
and  one  half  miles  from  the  College,  and  is  the  place  of  field 
work  of  the  agricultural  courses  and  of  the  College  and  State  Ex- 
periment Stations. 

The  Preparatory  School  location  is  opposite  the  College 
campus  on  the  west,  where  are  the  Preparatory  and  Elementary  School 
Buildings,  and  the  School  Home  is  located  on  spacious  grounds  ten 
minutes  walk  distant,  the  entire  property  being  owned  by  the  College. 

BUILDINGS  AND  EQUIPMENT 

Queen’s  College  was  planned  in  1808  and  its  corner 
stone  was  laid  on  April 
27,  1809.  It  was  soon 
occupied  in  part  but  was 
not  fully  completed  until 
1825.  Its  design  was  by 
John  McCoinb,  the  archi- 
tect of  the  New  York 
City  Hall,  and  it  ranks 
as  one  of  the  finest  of 
the  early  college  build? 
ings  in  this  country,  be- 
ing remarkable  for  the

simplicity,  dignity  and 
grace  of  its  propor- 
tions. It  is  built  of 
brown  stone  and  occu- 
pies the  central  posi- 
tion on  Queen’s  Cam- 
pus. It  contains  the 
executive  offices  and 
the  class  rooms  of 
several  liberal  arts  de- 
partments, Language, 
Mathematics,  Philoso- 
phy, History,  Political  Science  and  Ethics.  In  it  is  also  the  Weston 
Room  with  memorial  and  historical  collections. 

The  Alumni  and  Faculty  House,  a brick  building, 
erected  in  1811-2  as  the  President’s  residence  and  used  as  such 
for  many  years,  was  more  recently  devoted  to  the  uses  of  the  Fine 
Arts  DejDartment,  its  collections  and  lecture  room.  This  depart- 
ment having  now  been  removed  to  more  adequate  quarters,  the  house 
is  set  apart  for  the  social  uses  of  Alumni  and  Faculty.  It  has  been 
renovated  and  furnished  an'd  is  now  maintained  by  the  Rutgers 
Club  of  Hew  Brunswick.  It  stands  east  of  the  Chapel. 

YanXest  Hall,  erected  in  1845,  of  brick,  at  the  west  end 
of  Queen’s  Campus, 
recently  enlarged  and 
dignified  by  the  addi- 
tion of  an  appropriate 
porch,  contains  the 
c 1 a s s-r  o o m s of  the 
English  Department — 

Literature,  Rhetoric, 

Elocution  — and  the 
Hall  of  the  Young 
Men’s  Christian  As- 
sociation. 


THE  SC1IANCK  OBSERVATORY 


The  Daniel  S.  Schaxck  Observatory,  erected  in  1865, 
stands  at  the  east  end  of  Queen’s  Campus.  It  has  a revolving 
dome  and  is  equipped  with  a fine  6-inch  telescope,  furnished  with 
a driving  clock  and  other  accessories.  A 5-inch  equatorial  • refract- 


THE  MUSEUM 


ing  telescope  also  has  been  loaned  for  the  college  use.  There  are 
installed  also  a meridian  transit  circle,  siderial  clock,  chronograph 
and  other  valuable  instruments. 

Geological  Hall  is  between  Queen’s  and  VanHest  and 
was  erected  in  1871.  It  is  built  of  brownstone  and  accommodates 
the  Departments  of  Physics,  and  Geology  and  Mineralogy — class- 
rooms, physical  and  geological  laboratories,  with  extensive  and 
valuable  apparatus,  and  the  Museum.  The  Museum  occupies  a 
room  40x84,  with  galleries,  and  contains  about  30,000  classified 
specimens,  minerals,  rocks,  fossils,  shells,  besides  various  botanical, 
zoological  and  archaeological  collections.  Among  the  specific  groups 
are  the  George  H.  Cook,  the  Lewis  C.  Beck  and  the  Albert  H. 


Chester  Collection's  of  minerals.  Some  of  the  Museum’s  treasures, 
as  the  Mannington  Mastodon,  are  perhaps  unequalled  anywhere. 
Some  are  entirely  unique.  The  Museum  is  constantly  open  to  the 
public  in  charge  of  the  Curator. 

Kirkpatrick  Chapel,  a handsome  brownstone  Gothic 
structure,  was  dedicated  in  1873.  The  main  Chapel,  with  gallery, 
will  seat  about  three  hundred  and  fifty  persons.  It  is  famed  for 
its  remarkable  collection  of  portraits  of  Presidents,  Professors  and 
Trustees  who  have  in  the  past  served  the  college.  The  avails  are 


covered  with  these  memorials 
which  tell  the  college  history 
and  stimulate  the  college  life 
and  spirit.  Service  is  held  at 
8.40  A.  M.  each  week  day,  ex- 
cept Saturday,  and  at  11 
o’clock  on  Sunday.  In  this 
building  also  the  Pine  Arts 
Department  now  lias  its  col- 
lections and  lecture  hall,  a 
large  hall  formerly  used  for 
the  college  library  and  now 
admirably  adapted  to  its  new 
use.  Among  the  possessions  of 
the  department  is  the  Thomas 
L.  Janeway  Collection  for  Il- 
lustrating Classical  Archae- 
ology. This  building  also  con- 
tains a smaller  lecture  room, 


THE  CHAPEL  INTERIOR 


the  Trustees  and  Faculty  room  and  a vestry  room.  It  stands  be- 
tween Queen’s  and  the  Alumni  and  Faculty  House. 

New  Jersey  ITall,  a large  building  of  red  brick,  was  erected 
by  the  State  of  New  Jersey  primarily  for  the  use  of  the  State  and 
College  Experiment  Stations.  It  is  located  on  Heilson  Campus  and 
contains  the  laboratories  and  ^offices  of  the  Stations,  and  as  well 
the  class-rooms  of  the  Professors  of  Agriculture,  Biology,  Botany 
and  Entomology.  This  building  also  at  the  present  time  accommodates 


WINANTS  HALL 


the  college  Department  of  Chemistry,  its  laboratories  and  class- 
rooms. 

Win  ants  Hall  is  the  college  dormitory.  It  was  built  in 
1890  and  stands  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Queen’s  Campus,  between 
the  Baldwin  Gates  and  the  1882  Gates.  It  affords  accommodations 
for  one  hundred  students.  Its  rooms  are  arranged  in  suites  of 
three,  a study  and  two  bed  rooms ; and  there  are  also  a few  single 
rooms.  Bathrooms,  lavatories  and  store  rooms  are  on  each  floor ; 
and  fire  escapes  are  installed.  The  building  is  of  brick  and  stone 
and  is  heated  by  steam  throughout  as  are  the  other  college  build- 
ings. The  Dining  Boom  of  Winants  Hall  serves  students  rooming 
in  the  hall  or  elsewhere.  The  Quadrangle  Club,  a general  or- 
ganization of  the  student  body,  has  its  room  in  Winants ; and  the 
Students’  Supply  Store  is  also  located  there. 

Additional  dormitory  accommodations  for  a limited  number 
of  students  are  provided  by  Hertzog  Hall  of  the  New  Brunswick 
Theological  Seminary  and  by  the  Fraternity  Houses.  A few  private 
boarding  houses,  subject  to  approval  by  the  Faculty  of  the  College, 
also  provide  rooms  and  board.

each  side  of  which  is  a reading  room  with  shelves  and  tables,  while  at 
the  rear  are  the  stack-rooms  an'd  at  the  front  are  collection  rooms  and 
offices.  The  Library  contains  about  60,000  volumes  and  10,000  pam- 
phlets, and  regularly  receives  200  periodicals.  Certain  funds,  the 
Robert  IT.  Pruyn  Fund,  the  P.  Vanderbilt  Spader  Fund,  the  Ben- 
jamin Stevens  Fund  and  other  lesser  endowments  provide  a moderate 
income  for  the  purchase  of  books.  Students  have  free  access  to  the 
shelves,  and  may  also  draw  hooks  for  use  at  their  rooms.  The 
Library  is  open,  in  charge  of  the  Librarian  and  assistants,  each 
week-day  except  Saturday  from  8 A.  M.  to  9 P.  M.  and  on  Satur- 
day from  8 A.  M.  to  4.30  P.  M. 


THE  AGRICULTURAL  BUILDING 

The  Agricultural  Building  was  erected  in  1906  at  the 
College  Farm.  It  is  a dignified  and  adequate  building  provided 
by  appropriation  of  the  State  of  Xew  Jersey  for  the  Short  Courses 
in  Agriculture.  It  includes  class-rooms  and  laboratories  and  the 
various  equipment  for  the  practical  study  of  agriculture,  horti- 
culture and  dairying. 


The  Engineering  Building  erected  in  1909  occupies  a 
central  position  on  the  Abilson  Campus  facing  towards  the  west  on 
Bleecker  Place.  The  foundations  and  the  rear  extensions  are  built 
of  concrete  and  the  superstructure  of  brick,  and  the  building  is 
thoroughly  fire-proof  throughout;  wood  is  used  only  for  the  trim 
of  the  doors  and  windows.  It  contains  seven  class  rooms,  five  lab- 
oratories, six  offices  for  the  professors,  and  three  draughting  rooms, 
in  one  of  which  one  hundred  men  can  work  at  one  time.  It  pro- 
vides ample  accommodations  for  the  Departments  of  Civil  En- 
gineering, Electrical  Engineering,  and  Mechanical  Engineering. 

The  main  structure  is  three  stories  high,  the  first  floor  being 
devoted  to  the  uses  of  the  electrical  and  mechanical  departments. 
The  rear  extensions,  one  story  in  height,  furnish  excellent  accom- 
modations for  the  mechanical  engineering  and  the  dynamo  labora- 
tories. On  the  same  level  are  the  high  pressure  boiler  room  and 
the  strength  of  materials  laboratory  of  the  civil  engineering  de- 
partment. All  the  laboratories  are  provided  with  the  most  modern 
equipment.  The  second  floor  contains  a large  lecture  room  for  the 
use  of  the  three  departments  and  the  class-rooms  and  offices  of  the 
Department  of  Civil  Engineering.  The  third  floor  is  devoted  ex- 
clusively to  the  draughting  work.  The  lighting  of  the  draughting 
rooms  is  so  designed  that  the  light  is  abundant  and  uniformly  dif- 
fused without  glare.  In  this  respect  the  drawing  rooms  are  equal 
to  the  best  in  either  educational  or  commercial  use.

COURSES  OF  INSTRUCTION 


The  aim  of  Rutgers  College  is  to  provide  a thorough  train- 
ing along  the  lines  of  a broad,  general  culture,  which  serves  as  a 
foundation  for  any  of  the  professions,  and,  at  the  same  time,  in  the 
words  of  the  Morrill  Land  Grant  Act  of  1862,  “without  excluding 
either  scientific  or  classical  studies  and  including  military  tactics, 
to  teach  such  branches  of  learning  as  are  related  to  agriculture  and 
mechanic  arts  * * * in  order  to  promote  liberal  and  practical  educa- 
tion of  the  industrial  classes  in'  the  several  pursuits  and  professions 
of  life.”  The  college  offers  a course  leading  to  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Arts,  a course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Letters,  and  courses  in  General  Science,  Civil  Engineering,  Me- 
chanical Engineering,  Electrical  Engineering,  Chemistry,  Biology, 
Agriculture,  and  in  Clay-Working  and  Ceramics,  all  of  which  lead  to 
the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science. 

BACHELOR  OF  ARTS  COURSE 

The  course  of  study  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts 
is  designed  to  give  a positive  and  comprehensive  training  in  those 
subjects  which  are  essential  to  a broad,  general  culture,  and  which 
have  thoroughly  proved  their  worth  especially  as  a foundation  for 
the  so-called 
learned  profes- 
sions. Students 
in  this  depart- 
ment are  re- 
quired to  con- 
tinue the  study 
of  Latin  and 
Greek  through- 
out the  E resh- 
man  year.  The 
course  also  in- 
cludes required 
work  in  Mathe- 
matics, Physics, 


GEOLOGICAL  HALL 


VIEW  ON  COLLEGE  FARM 

English,  and  in  the  departments  of  History  and  Political  Science, 
Philosophy,  and  the  Pine  Arts. 

The  work  of  the  Sophomore,  Junior  and  Senior  years  is  pro- 
gressively elective;  the  subjects  from  which  the  student  must  make 
his  elective  choice  are  for  the  most  part  arranged  in  such  a system 
that  the  time  of  the  student  is  chiefly  occupied  with  two  depart- 
ments of  study.  The  range  of  elective  subjects  is  as  wide  as  it  can 
be  made  without  allowing  the  student  to  waste  his  energies  among 
too  varied  courses.  Elective  courses  are  offered  in  the  following 
departments : 


Greek. 

History. 

Latin. 

Education. 

English. 

Mathematics. 

German. 

Physics. 

French. 

Chemistry. 

Italian. 

Astronomy. 

Spanish. 

Biology. 

Hebrew. 

Entomology. 

The  Bible. 

Geology. 

Mental  Philosophy. 

Mineralogy. 

Moral  Philosophy. 

Zoology. 

Political  Science. 

Botany. 

BACHELOR  OF  LETTERS  COURSE 


The  course  of  study  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of 
Letters  is  designed  to  give  a broad  general  training  similar  to  that 
of  the  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  except  that 
the  study  of  Greek  is  not  required,  and  in  its  stead  required  work 
in'  Modern  Languages  is  substituted.  Students  in  this  department 
are  required  to  pursue  courses  in  Latin  and  Modern  Languages 
throughout  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years.  The  other  required 


NEW  JERSEY  II ALL 


and  elective  studies  are  those  offered  in  the  course  leading  to  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts.  Students  entering  college  as  candidates 
for  the  Letters  degree  may,  if  they  desire,  begin  the  study  of  Greek 
and  thus  become  candidates  for  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 

COURSE  IX  GENERAL  SCIENCE 

The  general  science  course  is  ottered  to  those  students  who 
do  not  wish  to  study  Greek  or  Latin  nor  to  enter  upon  the  work  of 


any  of  the  technical  courses.  Students  taking  this  course  are  re- 
quired to  study  Modern  Languages  throughout  the  Freshman  and 
Sophomore  years.  The  course  also  includes  required  work  in  Mathe- 
matics, Chemistry,  Physics,  English,  and  in  the  departments  of 
History  and  Political  Science,  Philosophy  and  the  Fine  Arts.  With 
the  exception  of  Latin  and  Greek  the  same  list  of  electives  is  offered 
to  students  in  the  course  in  general  science  as  is  offered  to  students 
in  the  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 

This  course  offers  a liberal  education  as  a preparation  for 
the  duties  of  citizenship,  and  furnishes  the  sound  preliminary 
training  which  is  so  important  in'  the  professions  of  law,  medicine, 
teaching  and  journalism. 


THE  ENGINEERING  BUIEDING 

COURSE  IN  CIVIL  ENGINEERING 

This  department  offers  a four  years  course  suited  to  give  the 
student  a thorough  training  in  the  fundamental  principles  of  civil 
engineering.  The  course  also  prescribes  other  subjects  of  great 
value  for  general  culture.  Mathematics,  both  pure  and  applied,  is 
thoroughly  taught  together  with  land,  railroad  and  geodetic  survey- 
ing. Sufficient  time  is  given  to  field-work  to  familiarize  the  student 


with  the  uses  of  surveying  instruments.  Draughting  is  taught 
throughout  the  course. 

The  object  of  the  course  is  to  so  train  the  student  in  the 
fundamental  principles  underlying  civil  engineering  that  he  may 
readily  acquire  after  graduation  the  practical  experience  which  will 
enable  him  to  fill  a responsible  position  in  the  profession'. 

Graduates  of  this  department  are  filling  successfully  posi- 
tions throughout  the  country  in  the  different  branches  of  the  pro- 
fession. 


COURSE  IN  MECHANICAL  ENGINEERING 

This  department  gives  a thorough  drill  in  the  principles 
which  underlie  mechanical  engineering  and  prepares  the  student 
to  readily  acquire  the  experience  which  will  enable  him  after 
graduation  to  fill  a responsible  position  in  the  profession.  Machine 
drawing  and  the  study  of  machine  construction  and  shop  processes 
are  begun  in'  the  sophomore  year.  In  the  junior  and  senior  years 
the  technical  subjects  of  the  course  include  mechanics  and  strength 
of  materials,  machine  design  and  thermodynamics  both  theoretical 
and  as  applied  in  the  steam  engine,  the  gas  engine  and  to  the  power 
plant  as  a whole. 

The  work  in  the  mechanical  engineering  laboratory  which 
is  carefully  coordinated  Avith  the  class  room  instruction  is  intended 
to  enforce  the  principles  taught  and  to  give  the  student  skill  and 
confidence  in  using  them. 


COURSE  IN  ELECTRICAL  ENGINEERING 

The  work  in  this  department  gives  a thorough  training  in 
the  fundamental  principles  governing  the  various  practical  appli- 
cations of  electricity.  The  early  years  of  the  course  lay  great  stress 
upon  mathematics,  physics,  chemistry  and  draughting,  an'd  atten- 
tion is  also  given  to  the  study  of  English,  history,  modern  lan- 
guages and  political  science.  In  the  later  years,  the  study  of  direct 
and  alternating  currents  and  their  applications  is  taken  up.  The 


THE  CERAMICS  BUILDING 


laboratory  affords  excel- 
lent facilities  for  testing 
direct  and  alternating 
current  machinery,  and 
its  equipment  in'cludgs 
a large  assortment  of 
the  best  types  of  com- 
mercial instruments. 
The  opportunities  for 
well  trained  men  are 
very  great,  and  the  col- 
lege has  applications  for 
more  men  than  it  can 
supply. 


COURSE  IN  CHEMISTRY 

The  course  in  chemistry  covers  four  years  and  is  designed 
to  widen  the  student’s  general  interest  and  intelligence,  to  enable 
him  to  observe  accurately  and  reason  logically  in  regard  to  natural 
phenomena. 

It  includes  a large  amount  of  recitation  and  laboratory  work 
in  general,  analytical,  organic,  physical  and  industrial  chemistry. 

The  training  is  thorough  and  prepares  the  students  to  fill 
successfully  responsible  positions  in  the  chemical  industries  or  to 
enter  the  scientific  professions. 

The  positions  held  by  our  graduates  both  in  pure  and  techno- 
logical chemistry  are  a good  indication  of  the  worth  of  the  training 
given. 


COURSE  IN  CLAY-WORKING  AND  CERAMICS 

This  course  has  been  established  and  is  maintained  by  the 
State  for  the  “education  of  clay-workers  in  all  branches  of  the  art 
which  exist  in  this  state  or  can  be  profitably  introduced.” 

The  course  of  instruction  includes  certain  general  culture 
subjects;  French  and  German  and  the  fundamental  sciences,  physics, 


THE  BATTALION 

chemistry,  geology,  mineralogy,  mathematics ; ail'd  the  purely  techni- 
cal studies  having  to  do  with  the  origin,  the  mining,  the  mechanical 
manipulation  of  clays,  the  preparation  of  bodies  and  glazes,  and  the 
principles  of  drying  and  firing.  Laboratory  practice  is  an  important 
adjunct  of  the  theoretical  instruction. 

The  value  of  this  course  and  the  opportunities  it  opens  to 
young  men  are  best  evidenced  by  the  marked  success  of  its  graduates. 

COURSE  m AGRICULTURE 

The  course  in  agriculture  is  intended  to  give  students  a 
broad  training  in  the  natural  sciences,  which  will  serve  as  a founda- 
tion for  advanced  work  in  science,  fit  them  to  be  teachers  or  investi- 
gators, or  qualify  them  for  life  as  agriculturists.  Graduates  of  this 
course  are  occupying  prominent  positions  in  Experiment  Stations, 
in  Agricultural  Colleges,  and  in  farm  management.  The  various 
departments  are  well  equipped  with  modern  apparatus  and  with 
illustrative  material,  and  the  farm  is  well  provided  with  improved 
machinery,  with  specimens  of  the  various  pure  breeds  of  dairy  cattle 
and  other  domestic  animals.  Short  courses  in  Agriculture,  not  lead- 
ing to  a degree,  are  offered  for  a three  months  term  each  winter. 
The  College  and  State  Experiment  Stations  maintain  their  work  in 
close  connection  with  the  Agricultural  course. 


COURSE  IN  BIOLOGY 


The  course  in  biology  is  designed  to  give  the  student  &. 
thorough  training  in  the  principal  natural  sciences  preparatory  to 
a professional  pursuit  of  medicine,  sanitation  or  education.  The 
work  of  the  freshman  and  sophomore  years  comprising,  in  addition 
to  the  culture  subjects,  experimental  chemistry,  physiology,  ana- 
tomy and  geology  afford  a broad  scientific  foundation  for  the  techni- 
cal biological  subjects  of  the  junior  and  senior  years. 

In  all  the  biological  subjects  the  class-room  instruction  is 
very  closely  coordinated  with  the  work  in  the  laboratories  where 
the  student  has  the  advantage  of  the  supervision  and  direction  of 
the  professors.

THE  TENNIS  COURTS 

Prizes.  A large  number  of  prizes  are  offered  for  special 
proficiency  in  college  work.  They  are  usually  cash  prizes,  awarded 
after  special  competition.  Each  of  the  four  years  of  the  course 
affords  some  such  opportunities  in  different  departments  of  study. 
Essays  and  oratory  are  thus  especially  recognized. 

STUDENT  ORGANIZATIONS 

The  Self  Government  Board  is  a student  board  undertaking 
some  measure  of  counsel  and  judgment  in  certain  matters  of  student 
discipline.  It  is  in  communication  always  with  the  Dean  of  the  College. 

The  Christian  Association  is  the  religious  organization  of 
the  students.  It  has  a spacious  and  well  furnished  room,  holds  a 
weekly  prayer  and  conference  meeting  at  twelve  o’clock  on  Friday, 
maintains  Bible  classes,  and  promotes  a varied  religious  work. 

The  Targum,  the  weekly  paper,  edited  and  issued  by  the 
students,  has  been  successfully  maintained  since  .1869. 

The  Literary  Society  meets  bi-weekly,  maintaining  programs 
of  literary  criticism,  discussion  and  debate. 

Technical  Clubs  composed  of  students  in  the  Departments 
of  Civil  Engineering,  Electrical  and  Mechanical  Engineering, 
Chemistry  and  Agriculture  meet  regularly  for  the  presentation  and 
discussion  of  papers. 


The  Debating  Committee  lias  in  charge  intercollegiate  de- 
bates which  have  been  held  for  a series  of  years  with  various  col- 
leges and  universities  and  with  singularly  uniform  success. 

The  Glee  Club  has  been  maintained  for  twenty-five  years  or 
more  and  widely  and  constantly  represents  the  College  in  well 
rendered  programs. 

The  Fraternities  are  eight  in  number,  the  rirst  of  them 
established  here  in  1845,  and  hold  a large  place  in  the  college  life. 
All  occupy  houses,  which  serve  in  large  measure  as  dwelling  houses 
for  their  members.  There  is  also  a Chapter  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
Society,  the  Alpha  Chapter  of  New  Jersey. 

TT  le  Social  Interests  of  the  students  are  still  further  recog- 
nized and  sustained  by  the  several  receptions  and  balls  held  during 
each  academic  year. 

The  Athletic  Association  supervises  the  various  athletic  in- 
terests of  the  students,  foot-ball,  base-ball  and  track  athletics.  All 
college  sports  are  honorably  maintained  with  good  degree  of  success, 
the  Faculty  co-operating  by  representation  in  the  Association’s 
Board  of  Managers. 

ALUMNI 

The  number  of  Alumni  has  now  become  very  large.  They 
are  found  in  all  lines  of  professional  and  scientific  life  and  include 
many  men  distinguished  in  public  affairs  at  home  and  abroad. 
Alumni  organizations  include,  beside  the  general  Association,  clubs
